| The SEED | |
 Formed:
Bangor,
North Wales, 1974, by HOLLAND, SMITH and CALLOWAY. Became the driving force
behind Welsh Punk / New Wave, back in the glory days of Clustcwyr. Finally
split in 82 after the aptly titled DISENFRANCHISED EP.
Style:
Initially
raw pub-rock they progressed to a more mature punk sound before dabbling
with electronics on their second album. Songwriters:
group penned.
Trivia:
Had
label managed rivalry with the infamous DIRYWIO.
The bands were actually quite friendly, as demonstrated by their effective
merger into the ANGELS OF DEATH.
